Los Angeles at Los Angeles

Rivalry time at Staples Center! And it's a rivalry that the Clippers have dominated with the Lakers 4-12 ATS in the last 16 meetings. After an embarrassingly one-sided 125-101 loss in February, the Lakers fell to 0-3 against the Clippers and surrendered the regular-season series for the first time since 1992-93. The Lakers still have defensive problems and injuries, with Steve Nash listed as doubtful for this game after sitting out the Lakers' practice Saturday. The Lakers are 24th in the NBA in points allowed, while the Clippers are eighth in points scored, fourth in points allowed. The Lakers are on a 2-5-1 ATS run and 2-7-1 ATS against a team with a winning percentage above .600. Play the LA Clippers.
